Employment Green Card FAQs — Arabic Lawyer Answers
How long does an employment green card take?
It depends heavily on your country of birth and category. EB-1 may be current with no wait. EB-2 and EB-3 from India and China may have 5-10+ year waits. Other countries may be current or have short waits.
Can I change employers during the green card process?
Before I-140 approval, changing employers usually means starting over. After I-140 approval and 180 days with pending I-485, AC21 portability may allow changing to a similar job.

NIW is an EB-2 category that does not require labor certification or employer sponsorship. You must show your work is in the national interest of the United States. It is popular with researchers, physicians, and entrepreneurs.
